Lonely Planet review

This historic home is a feminist landmark: It has been the home base of the National Woman's Party since 1929, and for 43 years it was the residence of the party's legendary founder, suffragette Alice Paul. Paul spearheaded efforts to gain the vote for women - enshrined in the 19th Amendment - and wrote the Equal Rights Amendment. Docents show you historical exhibits, portraits, sculpture and a library celebrating feminist heroines.
